Anaheim Blvd., Suite 350 Anaheim, CA. 92805 Website: www.traditionalvalues.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HELP TVC IN THESE FINAL DAYS OF 2006!! WE MUST BE PREPARED FOR THE BATTLE IN 2007!! ************************************************************************* Faithful TVC Supporters: In just a matter of days we will celebrate the Holy birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and also say goodbye to yet another year. The years do indeed seem to be going faster, don’t they? In these final days of 2006 please consider sending TVC a very much needed gift. Your giving would help us pay for year-end expenses and allow for us to start the New Year with a clean slate. Come 2007 we will be in yet another fight to protect marriage for one man and one woman!! Please use the link below to give to TVC today! http://www.calltoconservatives.com Your financial support today will also help as prepare for the battle ahead. We must have the financial resources now so that we are adequately prepared at the start of the New Year to fend off the attacks from anti-Christian leftists and radical pro-homosexual militants who have already declared war again on the family and marriage. We are in the process of developing plans to combat this bill which we will share with you shortly, but will start to implement in early January 2007. There are 37 new members of the Assembly that we will need to educate and inform about the detrimental ramifications of AB 43. Many new members simply do not fully understand the history and background of the marriage fight here in California. Your giving will help us in this regard. Radical homosexual groups in California and across the country are wasting no time to raise funds to pass Assembly Bill 43 by Assemblyman Mark Leno of San Francisco. Come the start of 2007 we will find ourselves in full-scale battle to defeat this bill. Therefore, we must rely on faithful supporters like you to give generously so that we can stand toe-to-toe and face-to-face against the homosexual groups who wish to redefine marriage and destroy the family. AB 43 would strike references to “male” and “female” in the marriage code and would instead add the phrase “two persons” to the definition of marriage. State marriage codes would be amended to read: •“Section 300 of the Family Code is amended to read: 300. (a) Marriage is a personal relation arising out of a civil contract between a man and a woman two persons, to which the consent of the parties capable of making that contract is necessary.” •“Section 301 of the Family Code is amended to read: 301. An Two unmarried male persons of the age of 18 years or older , and an unmarried female of the age of 18 years or older, and who are not otherwise disqualified, are capable of consenting to and consummating marriage.” •“Section 302 of the Family Code is amended to read: 302. An unmarried male or female personunder the age of 18 years is capable of consenting to and consummating marriage…” Mark Leno is blatantly removing the terms “man” and “woman” from current law so that anyone can marry in California. Two homosexual men or two homosexual women would be issued marriage licenses under this bill. AB 43 also seeks to undermine the definition of marriage and Prop 22 by deleting all references to “male” and “female” in the Family Code and replace it with the phrase “two persons.” It was only 6 years ago that California passed Proposition 22 with over 61.4% of the vote that declared: “Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.” The eyes of the country will no doubt be watching California. Remember, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger thankfully stopped a homosexual marriage bill earlier from becoming law with his veto. But we cannot count on him to do it again. Homosexual activists and their allies in the Legislature passed AB 849 last session. They are hoping to pass AB 43. We must stop them. Remember, “As California goes, so goes the nation.” We must not let this happen!! Faithful friends, we understand that this is the Christmas season. This is a busy time of year for us all. But please understand that the radical activists who wish to pervert marriage and call it their own are counting on us to be so busy that we fail to act and fail to give. Please don’t let that happen! Can we count on you today? Please give a donation today, a donation to protect marriage and thus the family itself! Thank you for your continued support and commitment. And may you have a very blessed and Merry Christmas! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Traditional Values Coalition is an inter-denominational public policy organization speaking on behalf of over 43,000 churches.
